an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Has anyone else heard about this?
That's cool, and fits neatly with Ple's take on multiple interpretations of the same myth.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Has anyone else heard about this?
Oh, that's just plain cool.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Reminds me of some of the Manga interpetations of the Marvel Universe, some of which weren't half bad.

Ex Machina's got a huge buzz, but having flipped to the last page of issue #1, I'm not so sure I can read the whole thing.

Singing Spidey, perhaps? At least once Bollywood gets a hold of it.

Whoa. That's just wicked cool. I hope it's written well. Wow.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
On a different note, did anybody pick up the Ex Machina or Challengers of the Unknown debuts last week?
Ex Machina just looks very good for most of its length and then the very last page re-casts into something--well, astonishing. (You're all going to go look at the last page and kill the buzz now, aren't you?) And the hooks Vaughan plants for future forward-story and back-story fill are intriguing.
I'm just a bit worried that it's an ongoing without a definite end-date, because a lot of the impact-by-implication he's got going on will be less meaningful if the story's drawn out too much.

Wet sari scene with MJ!
That's just so cool. And Rakshasa is a great villain. Now, which other heroes could cross-culture, and which culture would they cross with?

Further evidence that Brooklyn is the best place in the world to live: the NYT on the opening of the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Company:
The store has everything a modern, well-equipped superhero might need: leotards, boots, tights, magnets, chain ladders, nets and other tools of the villain-fighting trade. "We don't sell comic books or figurines,'' Mr. Seeley said. "It's literally what a superhero would use.''Because there aren't too many superhero supply stores around, many products and gadgets had to be custom made. One is the cape-tester, a platform rigged with fans stationed under a 1,000-watt floodlight where a superhero can strike a pose and check to see how a cape will billow in the breeze. On a wall-size map of Brooklyn, neighborhoods in distress light up to alert superheroes to brewing crises. Perpetrators can be expeditiously dispatched to a cagelike "villain containment unit" that stands by the front door.
I so know where my baby cousin and I are going the next time I watch her.
